Easy there Thomas,
I don't really think I was "ragging" on the competition. The man asked for my opinion and I was giving it. I'm flying the 902 presently, like it and think it is an improvement over the 900. I've also been with two companies now who have independently evaluated the 900/902 side by side with the EC135 for an EMS/SAR/Utility role and have opted for the Explorer, without my input I might add. I'm also able to look at performance charts, dimensions and seating arrangements and make a reasonable comparison. I respect that you fly the 135 and have a tenderness for it. It is also a great aircraft. Give the man your opinion then. That's what an opinion is, your point of view biased toward your beliefs. You don't have to give a disclaimer that there are alternatives out there, everyone already knows that. My real opinion is that I would buy three new 412s instead of four lights, but I didn't say that. I am curious what "problems that won't go away" that you are referring to on the 902?
